    I was looking for a video to add as part of my "First Day of Class" for my online courses - this is a really well-delivered video, with solid info. Thanks!

    *_Heyy! You know how to get my attention while talking or teaching. I felt like I was in class with you right now, just like back in the day!_*

      *_The facial expressions you make, hands, and eye contact really catches my attention to detail and makes me more focused on what you are explaining or talking about._*

    So I wrote a eight page MLA format research paper about Cristiano Ronaldo. I found this really helpful book and I used it to write my research paper. Obviously when I found a very helpful sentence I quoted it with the authors name. I also cited a lot of sources on my works cited page. I also had to have a cover page with my name, class, teachers name, and also the title. In total I had 11 pages on my research paper. I used the book a lot and I used details and I put it into my own words. After my class and I submitted our research papers, my teacher graded all of them in a couple weeks. Now a month and a half later, she says she hasn’t officially submitted our grades because a lot of us did bad and plagiarized. Also, I am in the honors English class, but the other students in my class only did 1 page or maybe two. Only like seven people in our class did at-least seven which was the requirement. Back to the grading, my teacher said that she has this app which she could put our research people and see a certain percent. She said that one student had 94% plagiarized. I am worried that I had like 50% plagiarized without even knowing. I put all the work into my own words, cited my sources, and put “” marks on the best quotes. Do you think I will be okay or I will have plagiarized work.

      Honestly, hard to tell. My best advice is to go speak to your teacher directly.

    One thing that occurs to me is that it is not definitive on what constitutes general knowledge. Without looking it up I can say that the symbol for the element gold is AU. I can state that in IPV4 networking an IP address is a 32-bit binary address made up of four octets. Each octet is itself an eight bit binary number. I know that the speed of light is 186,000 miles/second. Would what is considered common knowledge depend upon the audience for which you are writing. I am certain that if you were reading something pertaining to networking the author would not explain where they learned about IP Addressing. If they broke down the citation to that degree a book on information technology would have a bibliography at least as long as the book.
    I am not dismissing the importance of citing your sources. I am not even playing devil's advocate. I have read scholarly articles in which concepts were referenced in passing with which I had no previous knowledge. I had to do a bit of research just to understand what seemed to be taken as common knowledge. I am asking, how do we judge general/common knowledge?

    Can I paraphrase a short anecdote?
    For instance a folklore memorate of a ghost story, can I give a short paraphrase of this
    tale which citing the author? Or do I need permission for that?

    • @MisterMessinger

      You can do that as long as you cite the author!

      @@MisterMessinger Thisis incredible to know as I have been dreading sending off for so many permissions! I have read that if you do paraphrase, it should be significantly different than the original wording.
      With short anecdotes this can be a real challenge. Any thoughts on that!
      Thanks a lot for the reply
